Since my top 25 hasn't been useful in introducing you to some of the new overly played songs in my life, let's change the rules a little bit. Here are the top 25 songs in my iTunes since March 28, 2010. Why that arbitrary day you might ask? Because that is when I got a new computer. And all my songs before that now say they were added on March 27, 2010

25. I Woke Up in a Car - Something Corporate: 20
Back in 2007 when I first got my Mac this song somehow got lost in the shuffle and didn't make it onto my new machine. I went looking for it earlier this year and didn't find it so I redownloaded it

24. Hallelujah - Paramore: 21
I think this is the second best song named Hallelujah on my iPod (Jeff Buckley), but a good song nonetheless. Hayley Williams is hotter as a blonde
/Checks Google
Phew it's not too creepy to say that

23. Tik Tok - Ke$ha: 21
I was late to the Ke$ha bandwagon. This song and Your Love is My Drug are the epitome of awesomely shitty songs. Very enjoyable. Maybe one day the Awesomely Shitty Bracket will be revealed

22. I Don't Wanna Be - Gavin De Graw: 21
I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately

21. Creep - Stone Temple Pilots: 23
Don't know why I didn't have this. Forgive me

20. Bad Romance - Smile from the Trenches: 23
Before I fully embraced Gaga's music (I still don't like her as a person), I downloaded the punk version of Bad Romance

19. Laredo - Band of Horses: 24
Band of Horses made an appearance in Joyce's Jameson video. When their new album was going to get thrown out at work, I stepped in and found it a home. This is the lone bright spot of the album

18. Shark in the Water - VV Brown: 27

17. Alejandro - Lady Gaga: 27
The first Lady Gaga song I liked the first time I heard it. Helped the aforementioned acceptance of her music

16. All I Do is Win - DJ Khaled: 27
Fact

15. Billionaire - Travie McCoy: 28
This song is called Jim$ in foreign countries

14. Untouched - The Veronicas: 31
Who would win in a fight. The Veronicas or T.a.T.u? PS This song is just epic

13. Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus: 32
Teenage Rick relates to this....well except for the prom thing

12. Nothing on You - B.o.B. feat. Bruno Mars: 32
This is just a great song. But as Ostrowe pointed out, how did this guy come out of nowhere and get all these people on his tracks? I'm sure the internet could explain, but just go with it

11. Sexy Bitch - David Guetta feat. Akon: 33
Impossible not to smile when this song plays. My summer interns will tell you this is my pick-me-up song

10. Yeah Yeah Yeah - New Politics: 34
This is the Dew Tour theme song this year. Great song you just want to sing along with.

9. Pure Imagination - Maroon 5: 36
The AT&T commercial with this song is brilliant. Too bad their service doesn't match their recent creative. Good song to fall asleep to.

8. American Slang - Gaslight Anthem: 36
Joyce, Ostrowe, and I are going to this concert. There are going to be so many hipsters.

7. Brick by Boring Brick - Paramore: 40

6. Airplanes pt. 2 - B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams & Eminem: 42
Part 2 > Part 1 due to Eminem's sick verse. Hayley Williams is hot as a blonde

5. If We Ever Meet Again - Timbaland feat. Katy Perry: 43
I'm watching Notre Dame v. Purdue. The Irish look good. Consider this a kiss of death

4. Spine - I Love Monsters: 43
The drumer for this band works for NBC. They were also a finalist in the new FreeCreditScore.com band search

3. Bangers, Beans, and Mash - Infant Sorrow: 45
Russell Brand recorded a full album for the Get Him to the Greek album. For an actor, all the songs are pretty great

2. Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons: 46
There is a lesson to be learned here

1. The Only Exception - Paramore: 64
